    Hi Kerry, I'm having trouble accessing this link. This can happen when sites are found through deepweb sites such as ProQuest since they are trying to protect their content. When I click on the link I'm asked for a username and password. I am going to contact the Bank Street librarian and see if she has a username and password that we can use to access the site via this method. In the meantime, if you don't mind, could you post how to find this article through ProQuest (perhaps by Document ID) so that others in the class can access the resource. Thanks

    After some further investigation, I found that if I bookmarked a site directly from the Bank Street ProQuest site that there was no problem accessing it through Diigo. A couple questions: are you accessing ProQuest through Bank Street? Are you accessing it from home or on campus?

    No, I was not accessing it through Bank Street, I was using my school's proquest account.

    If it's possible to find the same article on the BS ProQuest and then post and delete this one, that would be great. Thanks. Dov
